I hope tomorrow or Wednesday. When I had stuff shipped EMS, the tracking updates were a day behind at least. However, the DHL updates seem to include the time that events happen, so I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Yup the time is indicated. When my package arrived in the local DHL office, I got a call one hour after and it was delivered after another 2 hours to my home.

OK!...joining the club. After few weeks of lurking around in this forum, I made the order yesterday. This is going to be my first major DAC/AMP with my Denon D2000. I ordered the whole package..Compass + Sun + Moon + Custom Power cable (USD 428.48 including shipping + 4% paypal). Liked the idea of playing around with different combinations for some variety. Just hoping this is a good starting point for me into this hobby

I had high expectations going into this experience and after pairing the compass with my D5000, well my expectations have been exceeded. The synergy with this pairing works really well. I am enjoying rediscovering music again. I've also discovered that quite a few of my favorite recordings are very poor quality, if there is a flaw in it - it will stand out. IMHO

Just do it already, you know you want to - all the cool kids are doing it.

Well that pretty much sums up the intentions of your questions.. glad you went ahead and like Les says, you cant go with wrong at the price.. hope to hear your impressions soon..

thanks sandchak, you know - originally I had doubts about the burn-in, however I don't have to understand or be able to explain it to anyone to hear that there is a difference with burning. People can call me crazy - doesn't matter anyway, I have legal papers that state that anway

It only gets better Boomer....better Boomer ?...uh... Betty Boomer (good pRon name

).

Can you tell I need sleep (

) but dare not to in case I miss the DHL truck ? Nah....

Peete.

That is the down side isn't it!

Always good to have legal papers that help explain some of your decisions! I need to get some of those!

Les has your RE1 shipped yet and how are you liking the 2.1 JBL setup now that you've had it for a over a week ?

Sarathcpt : You'll be hard pressed to find anything better for that kind of money. You've made a wise decision on your first amp/dac in this crazy audio hobby !

Peete.

Hang on a minute, I'm defending your honor in the glowing tube thread...

Ok, Ok, there, done! Some people's Children!

I'm having trouble typing at preset. My fingers are all mangled and bloody.

That's because of all the nail biting I'm going through waiting for my Compass and REF1! Sold all my gear but the Zero and the DV, and the Zero is waiting for my desoldering iron, so I'm not using it. I've had to listen to a Sound Card!!! I've got too much RFI/EMI in my cable runs to listen to the DV.

Nice of you to pipe in and point out I'm not on the LIST!!! I had already noticed that!

Ahhh but there is Good News! The JBL monitors running off pure digital signal are a revelation. They really show the colorations of the headphones we listen to. It's tons of fun playing with the Computer control also. One of the Best purchases I've ever made, thanx for helping me with them!

Now I've got to get back to my computer. I have the Audi-gd Consignment page on a 10 sec refresh and i don't want to miss anything!

So now the countdown starts: Will Les get his Ref One before he reaches the lofty heights of Supremus status? PM me with your bets.
